I'd be up for a meet-up if one happens. Been here 6 weeks now, probably about time I got to meeting some new people.

I got that for .99c when the author originally announced it on here. It was a fun read, I recommend it!

IDEA - weekly discussions on a submission. by MrTomatoin bjj
[–]SimonS 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
No need for the apologies, and you're right, TOTM definitely deserves more love.
[–]SimonS[M] 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
Just a quick note that the sidebar / TOTM concerns are noted (and yeah, this place definitely deserves more love). Gonna mull it over at the weekend (with the other two guys), and get back to you guys ASAP.
As far as TOTM itsel: if someone starts a topic and messages the mods (link in bottom right of sidebar near the modlist), we'll be sure to get it linked up.

Pretty sure one of those mods is me, but that isn't to say that we've not been active (from the mod logs).
Haven't got the time at the minute to go into minute details, but I've been aware of the stagnation, and shall pester my fellow mod buddy's about how we're going to resolve it this weekend.
Discuss the MU puzzle here. by rspeerin GEB
[–]SimonS 7 points8 points9 points 3 months ago
This was the conclusion I came to, although mine was a lot less intelligent and was less a 'conclusion' and more a case of running out of time and will.
I mostly brute forced the problem before reducing it down to trying to find something in the series 2n that divided by 3 (I got up to 212 before realising that this was probably not happening). A bit of googling on 2n, leads me to believe that this is due to unique prime factorization.

I run mmaurls.com where it automatically tags news submissions with 'relevant' words from the articles. Matty regularly trends there.
Quick update: Flair, Best Little Community, 3000 members, new mod etc by SimonSin bjj
[–]SimonS[S] 4 points5 points6 points 4 months ago
Cheers for the kind words, yeah belt count was only really possible due to the belt system and was far from accurate. I might look at delving into the reddit API further down the line to see if I can pull that stuff out again.
1 last suggestion that is not necessary at this point, but as this sub reddit grows, people may began to abuse the belt flair (saying they are a black belt when they're not)
I'm taking the laid back approach with this personally (and I've not discussed this with either the community or the other mods - so I'm more than happy to change my mind if enough people give a shit), and going with the mantra that if someone's lying about their belt grade - so what? For me, it's a nice indicator that whoever's spouting advice knows what they're talking about, but I think everyone should beware that the internet is generally anonymous, so evaluate advice on merit rather than who's speaking it.

I did one of my favorite things in the world today by theguardfighterin bjj
[–]SimonS 3 points4 points5 points 4 months ago
I (and I expect, the other mods) have no problem with people discussing toking and rolling on here. There's a fair bit of overlap, and it'd be naive to expect people to ignore the topic altogether, especially with the likes of Eddie Bravo going around talking about the benefits of weed smoking.
I would guess that this post is getting downvoted not because of its subject (although some will be, obviously), but more because it feels like a twitter update than a question or something entertaining / informative.
Nope, you're right - I think hiding the downvote button really helped us grow initially as less posts got buried.

I'm really proud of how this subreddit has flourished this year. Nominations have just been opened for best little community, it would be great (if you think we're worthy, of course) if you could lend us an upvote at the above link.
Also: go view the whole thread to find some great new subreddits / upvote others that you think are worthy, it's an absolute goldmine.
